HUNTINGTON BEACH, Calif. -- A teenager was killed and his brother was gravely injured when their truck collided with a city vehicle in Huntington Beach Monday morning, officials said.
The two teenagers - both students at Edison High School in Huntington Beach - were rushed to a local hospital after they were found in the Ford truck. They were on their way to school when the collision happened. Police said the 38-year-old driver of the Chevrolet Silverado, which belongs to the city of Huntington Beach, was uninjured.
"It's pretty tough because he was one of my close friends. He was always telling me he wouldn't let anybody mess with me or do anything to me," Joshua's friend Mahad Mukhtar said."It's pretty tough to see him go so soon."Police said it doesn't appear drugs or alcohol were a factor in the crash.
